Wiring loom

#1 Post by new to this »

I've got a couple of wiring questions

1/ what colour are the wires that feed the horn
2/ how are the wires run that feed the starter motor,do they run along the anti role bar

Thanks Dave

On a Sprint, purple & black wires to the horn +ve, black earth.

The wires for the starter are run inside the front rail of the subframe. There should be two holes in the subframe for plastic clips.
Sprintless for the first time in 35+ years. :boggle2: ... Still Sprintless.

Engines, Gearboxes, Overdrives etc. rebuilt. PM me.

It is attached to the starter cable around the alternator. It can open up but the wires have spade connectors so no need.

I think the battery cable is short, that's why I wanted to get inside the feed block,where is the feed block mounted

The feedblock is crimped to the startercable. When you have no starter cable you don't have a feedblock either.
